The Importance of Community Voice: Operational and Legal Lessons from the Flint Registry

After thousands of Flint residents were exposed to lead during the 2014-15 Flint water crisis, community partners worked together to create the Flint Registry to monitor community health, connect people to services, and promote understanding of how the water crisis affected the community. Establishing the Flint Registry required a team of community members and experts and involved myriad operational and legal issues. This session, led by Nicole Jones, Kenyetta Dotson, and Denise Chrysler examined the process involved in establishing and operating a community-based non-governmental environmental exposure registry.
